Stock Exchange of Thailand
Enclosed please find the Interim Consolidated and Company Financial
Statements of Siam Makro Public Company Limited for the second quarter ended
June 30, 2009 which have been reviewed by the certified public accountant.
Revenues
During the 2nd quarter, 2009, gloomy economy continues and there was no
clear sign of recovery as evidenced by the double digit negative export growth
from same period last year as well as the downtrend in tourism sector. Several
negative incidents occurred during the quarter such as political riot during
Songkran holidays, flu pandemic, negative inflation which caused low consumer
confidence and contraction in the economy. Nevertheless, the Company managed
to achieve Baht 19,008 million consolidated revenues which rose by 0.8% from
the same period last year. The growth was mainly contributed by Makro sales
growth (41 stores) on same store basis, additional sales from new store (Store
42 Ram Inthra) opened during middle of June and 13% service income growth.
Consolidated revenues of this quarter had no sales from Makro Office Centre
and the gain from disposition of entire business of Makro Office Centre, which
occurred in 2nd of quarter last year.
Gross Margin
The percentage of gross margin to sales was 6.1%, lower than 6.7% of
the same quarter last year as a result of strong price competition in the
market.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated selling expenses were 3.4% less than same quarter last
year as a result of efficient expense management and no Makro Office Centre's
expenses. Consolidated administrative expenses were 10.6% higher than same
quarter last year as a result of preopening expenses of newly opened store.
Nevertheless, the percentage of selling and administrative expenses to sales
was 6.2%, a slight declined from 6.4 % of the same period last year.
Net Profit
Consolidated net profit before tax was Baht 438 million, 32.4% drop
from the same quarter last year due mainly to lack of non recurring gain from
disposition of Makro Office Centre's shares and lower gross margin. Makro net
profit after tax was Baht 289 million, 33.1% lower than same period last year.
On comparison with the net profit after tax without gain from disposition of
Makro Office Centre's shares, consolidated net profit after tax was 10.2%
behind same period last year.
Please be informed accordingly.
Yours faithfully,
Siam Makro Public Company Limited
